B&R 8EI8X8HWT10.0500-1 ACOPOS P3 Three-Axis Servo Drive 8.8A with 2-Row Connector

The B&R 8EI8X8HWT10.0500-1 is a three-axis ACOPOS P3 servo drive rated for 4 kW continuous power and 8.8 A continuous current on each motor connection. Its three-axis architecture is suited to compact machines with several coordinated, dynamically loaded motors.

The defining difference is the .0500 hardware configuration with a two-row connector set and integrated braking resistor. The more common .0600 version has the same basic axis and output ratings but uses a one-row connector set and is listed with a cover.

For replacement projects, the .0500 and .0600 suffixes should not be mixed solely because their power ratings are identical. The connector rows, terminal blocks, cover arrangement and machine wiring must be compared first.

Key Features

• Three 8.8 A servo axes in one 66 mm wide module
• 4 kW continuous output on each motor connection
• 24 A peak current per axis
• Two-row connector set specific to the .0500 configuration
• Integrated braking resistor
• Three configurable digital multi-encoder interfaces
• POWERLINK V2 communication with an integrated two-port hub

Typical Applications

• Three-axis packaging machines
• Printing and converting equipment
• Coordinated infeed, processing and discharge axes
• Robotic handling and assembly systems
• Multi-axis material transport
• Exact replacement of an installed .0500 ACOPOS P3 module

FAQ

Q1. How does the .0500 version differ from 8EI8X8HWT10.0600-1?
The electrical output ratings are similar, but the .0500 configuration uses a two-row connector set. The .0600 configuration uses a one-row connector set and includes a cover.

Q2. How many motors can it control?
It provides three motor connections, three encoder interfaces and three motor holding-brake connections.

Q3. Does the .0500 configuration include an integrated braking resistor?
Yes. B&R identifies the 8EI8X8HWT10.0500-1 with an integrated braking resistor.

Q4. Can it replace the .0600 version without rewiring?
This should not be assumed. The different connector arrangement can affect terminal blocks and cabinet wiring even though the current and power ratings match.
